Chairman of Monogram Foods honored by The National Provisioner

The chairman and chief executive officer of Monogram Foods, the parent company of Monogram Appetizers in Plover, has been named to the prestigious National Provisioner’s Top 25 Icons list, which honors the most influential leaders in the nation’s processed meat industry.

Karl Schledwitz was honored as one of the nation’s leaders in the meat processing industry because of Monogram’s rapid growth, said Andy Hanacek, editor of The National Provisioner, in a release.

“Karl was an easy decision based on Monogram Foods’ skyrocketing growth and success,” said Hanacek. “Karl is the definition of an icon in that he is very visible, approachable and a powerful force in forwarding the industry.”

Schledwitz, along with his partner Wes Jackson, founded Monogram Foods in 2004 after purchasing King Cotton and Circle B brand meats from Sara Lee Corp. They grew their small company of nine employees into one that today employs 2,700 people working in eight manufacturing facilities in seven states. Monogram Appetizers, acquired in July 2015, employs 595 people at its two plants at 300 Moore Rd. and 1434 Post Rd.

​“Our team members in Plover have proven themselves to be highly dependable and hard working,” said Schledwitz in the release. “This award belongs to our Plover team members for their leadership and commitment to make us a best-in-class company."

The National Provisioner, one of the nation’s leading publications for the meat and poultry industry, is honoring 25 influential industry leaders in conjunction with the publication’s 125th anniversary. Others named to the list include Jeff Ettinger, chief executive officer of Hormel Foods, Jack Link, founder of Jack Link’s jerky, and Jim Perdue, chairman of Perdue Farms.
